YYC next avail is in August. I don't really understand how Toronto or Vancouver will have avaibility in the next days and not YYC.
More staff in bigger cities probably :confused: |

moreover, i keep reading about the iris scan, but that is done at certain locations. It seems like the Blaine crossing does not offer the iris scan...

Regarding appointments - Another tip to 'keep checking.'
My colleague's appointment was in July, but, per the advice in here, I told him to check every few days and an appointment appeared two weeks from now, which he snagged. |
I found 4 slots for next week , by the time i clicked and chose 1 they was all gone. Some professional snipers are hunting on the GOES website :D

Just one more datapoint. Pearson was previously completely slammed, but they actually flew in an extra team for a couple weeks to clear the backlog. They were bookable as the cryptically named Toronto Side 1 and Side 2 in the system.
That being said, in my appointment, the Canadians were fast, friendly, and efficient. The American officers clearly hated their jobs and were super slow. Just as the waiting room was filling up, two officers took off on lunch, leaving 4 Canadians and 1 American working. |

The ones in YYZ pre-clearance, especially so. |

That's my experience of US Federal employees in any country outside the USA. They just come across as hating having to work outside their border. I imagine most foreign workers who are forced to work away from home are like that, but these guys .. wow.

With over 6,000 posts, this is one of the longest running, most read (1/2 milion!) posts in AC.
So I tried to search, and no patience. In any event -- I've got an inter-US flight tomorrow - US city to US city. Glad to note that my boarding pass shows that my Nexus status is giving me TSA-Pre. (Lots on that over in the United forum). I've got a lot of inter-US flights coming up, and its nice to know that on some (or many) occasions my Nexus continues to help out. Maybe a useful data reference for others. |
Trusted Traveler Program
I am wondering if Nexus and Global entry have basically been combined? The 2 programs used to be listed seperately in goes, but when I signed in recently there is only one program listed called Trusted Traveler program.
I guess that makes renewal easier since I only need to renew the one program. |
